Check out these hot topics at The Body's Ask the Expert forums:
Forum on Safe Sex, Prevention and Transmission Can AIDS be transmitted via deep kissing? The CDC says there must be "visible" blood, which evokes -- at least to me -- a "Dracula" movie. Is there any difference between taking a first- or third-generation ELISA more than six months after exposure? How accurate is the PCR test at 16 weeks? What does a PCR test look for that an antibody test does not? Note from the worried well to the worried well: If PCR or ELISA is negative, then you're negative! Quit worrying! Forum on General Treatment Advertisement My amprenavir/ritonavir/trizivir combo is failing, and I'm resistant to everything except tenofovir. Do I start taking it now, or do I wait? I just had gastric bypass surgery for weight loss. Will this hurt my body's ability to absorb anti-HIV drugs? When is a good time for a structured treatment interruption?		Forum on Women and HIV Are sore, swollen breasts a normal side effect of trizivir? I've read that Kaposi's sarcoma is extremely rare in HIV-positive women, but how can I be sure this skin mark isn't KS? Forum on AIDS-Related Cancers When do night sweats stop being an annoyance and start becoming something to worry about? Could they be a sign of AIDS-related lymphoma? If you have HIV/AIDS, will you always have swollen lymph nodes? I survived non-Hodgkin's lymphoma... but what are the odds it'll come back?
